Water pollution can come from many sources. Point-source pollution comes from large farms, factories, septic systems, sanitation systems, and landfills. Nonpoint pollution sources include cities, abandoned mining sites, and animal waste.

Greenhouse gases absorb energy from the sun. The gases hold onto this heat and trap it in the atmosphere instead of allowing it to be reflected into space. The increased temperature from the gases in the atmosphere is a major factor in climate change.

Greenhouse gases arise naturally, and are part of the make-up of our atmosphere. Earths conditions are just right to allow life, including us, to flourish. Part of what makes Earth so amenable is the naturally-arising greenhouse effect, which keeps the planet at a friendly 15 °C (59 °F) on average. But in the last century or so, humans have been interfering with the energy balance of the planet, mainly through the burning of fossil fuels that give off additional carbon dioxide into the air. The level of carbon dioxide in Earth’s atmosphere has been rising consistently for decades and traps extra heat near the surface of the Earth, causing temperatures to rise.

Does specific heat also mean the amount of energy needed for cooling, or is it only energy for heating?
const2013 [10]

Answer:

yes it does

here is a more clearer explanation

Explanation:

The specific heat capacity of water is 4,200 Joules per kilogram per degree Celsius (J/kg°C). This means that it takes 4,200 J to raise the temperature of 1 kg of water by 1°C.

Some other examples of specific heat capacities are:

Material Specific heat capacity (J/kg/°C)

Brick 840

Copper 385

Lead 129

Lead will warm up and cool down fastest because it doesn’t take much energy to change its temperature. Brick will take much longer to heat up and cool down. This is why bricks are sometimes used in storage heaters as they stay warm for a long time. Most heaters are filled with oil (1,800 J/kg°C) or water (4,200 J/kg°C) as these emit a lot of energy as they cool down and, therefore, stay warm for a long time.

The specific heat capacity of a material is the energy required to raise one kilogram (kg) of the material by one degree Celsius (°C).
